December Norman Regional Blood Drives

As the holiday season approaches, it’s the perfect time to embrace the spirit of giving. Norman Regional is partnering with the Our Blood Institute (OBI) to host several upcoming blood drives, and we invite you to roll up your sleeve and donate. Every blood donation has the potential to save up to three lives, making it one of the most impactful ways to give back to our community this holiday season.

To make your donation even more rewarding, all blood drive donors will receive a free holiday-themed long-sleeve T-shirt and a $15 Butterball turkey coupon—a small token of appreciation for your generosity this season.
